What a strong message. When I was a kid, my mum used to support youths where we grew up at a centre in SE London. Sadly it got closed down - your message is such a strong call to action for us to step up for young people again - thank you Tylae.
Your story rings true in every town and city up and down the country. We need to step up, ‘if not us, if not now then when’ 😉… Thanks for your support Ruth 😊
wow so true as a young person i agree we need the youth clubs back. because it’s getting unsafe and we have nothing to do anymore other than xbox or school
Tylae is such a natural public speaker when sharing such a personal message. This is a fantastic talk shedding light on a real issue; austerity and cutting youth services does not work. Tylae is completely right, we have to take it into our own hands by being reflective role models and give young people respect and the time of day. Youth work is essential and I thank people like Tylae who are youth workers and dedicate their time to empowering young people 👏
I’m really glad you think so and you agree, thanks for your really kind words and helping get the message out there, let’s work for a better future for the youth of today and tomorrow ❤
folk will forget that important part you raised. Todays kids have just lived in a pandemic. I am 45 and cant imagine what it must have been like if i was to have lived through a pandemic at 16.. you provide good ideas. Empower is the biggest stand out to me well done
Thanks so much for the comment it’s appreciated. It’s always good for us to reflect on the differences between our childhood and the kids of today. I remember being 13 playing Kirby if you remember it and going for bike rides in the woods. I’m unsure if young people today have experienced either of those things.
The cash terms cuts in youth services between 2010 and 1016 equates to 73%. The recent announcement of investment in the youth service and 300 youth clubs in the Levelling Up programme will only pay to support the next round of funding for the NCS. The youth clubs will continue to be run by the voluntary sector and LAs will fund the premises. However with devolved local governments having to make cuts to services in areas such as social care, it doesn't bode well for the youth services which are always first hit! Great call for change Tylae Close, I hope your message gains the momentum and traction it deserves. Congratulations on a great talk!
Hey thanks so much - sorry I’m only just getting around to replying. Accountability is so important. Our youth are our countries future ❤. Hope you’re doing well mate x
Its so important Tylae - thank you for shining a light on the importance of youth work and the incredible impact it can have on the lives of young people
What a brilliant Tedtalk - we are relatively new to the world of youth work and collaborating in youth settings with youth workers - but we can SO see the importance of these safe spaces and the value and impact they have. Thank you for sharing Tylae.
Thanks so kindly! Youth work works, we need to shout about the importance of it and the benefits it carries. It’s great to hear other professionals feel the same 😊

100%. Don’t be afraid of raising your voice and asking where your spaces are. Young people like yourself deserve youth clubs Alfie!
